wedding
Only to silly and insecure women.
Only if he's holding a child does he become more attractive to me with the
wedding band on, for then I view him as a committed provider and a man who's
responsible, giving and unselfish. He might not even be a good dad, but I'm
just going on perception from what I see at a single moment's glance.
The wedding ring by itself doesn't do it for me or get me all excited to
where I need to tease him just to see if he'd flirt back even those he's
taken. Never has, never will. I don't rate men (fashion–wise) on their
wedding ring and I don't speak to married men I've never met before unless
they speak to me first or unless they're neighbors or are somebody at church
or an acquaintance of one of my relatives or something, really.
I look at their shoes, their glasses if they wear them, and the style of
wallet they chose to buy, like if it's monogrammed or if it's hand woven and
is from Chile or something; if it says something about his innate sense of
style; a clue I could gather about his *personality* without having to ASK,
in other words.
If it's waterproof, vinyl, and fastens with velcro, I get a little scared.
Not because it means he's cheap (I've actually seen guys with a couple of
hundreds in their VELCRO wallet before...you really can't judge the paycheck
by the wallet), but because it means he doesn't know how to dress and color
coordinate and is using a wallet that was popular in 1983, therefore he is
severely FASHION CHALLENGED and needs FAR more assistance in that category
than I have patience for.
;o)
Just merely being taken and being off limits doesn't make a married man more
appealing to a single/unmarried woman. Check your brain and your ego at the
door and erase that thought because it'll do you no good. Ever.
What is a "Wow! Oh My!" type of moment to unmarried, single, widowed, or
divorced women about married men is when we didn't even NOTICE them, were
not paying attention and all of a sudden one of them talks to us as if he's
known us forever; that he is not shy and is not smug or cocky, but is just
friendly, *PERSONABLE* and confident.
That's the sign of a married man who is not whipped and is free and
confident enough in the marriage to be HIS OWN PERSON and not somebody
else's ball and chain.
Yes, that is somewhat brazen, bold, and brave and we see it as a sign of
confidence as long as he is not being forward and hitting on us, but just
friendly, approachable, and chatty instead. In other words, he's *his own
man* and isn't always running around thinking "Good God! My wife would just
kill me! I spoke to another female who has breasts and can conceive!" just
over the mere fact that he was pleasant, kind, and spoke jovially to some
nice lady in the Starbuck's line about the weather or which pastry he likes
best.

no. It doesn't work that way because women have a radar for this sort of
thing.
As for women's reaction to a married man (a stranger wearing a wedding
band), its not so much an attraction as it is more compelling for some I
suppose, in a curiousity kind of way – i.e. is he a responsible family man.
When I was much younger and met a married peer (either gender), I was
usually more "in awe" that they already knew themselves so well to be able
to fully commit to someone and with it all the responsibilities of a marital
relationship.

This is something that I've always been curious about.
Of course everyone knows the story that if a single guy is wearing a wedding
band, he automatically becomes more attractive to members of the opposite
sex.
The question is, is this true?
